I received another email from Krysta. I had sent her an email asking if they had a time for the parents to meet the bus when they return. She informed me she will be calling after they go through customs and are on the road. She is expecting to be in Goshen between 330 and 4 but that is not definite. I will keep everyone posted as to what else she says.
I also spoke to my son JC again tonight. He said today was an AWSOME day. The group of boys he shared a room with last night all over slept but they made it in time to the bus. He said they went to a falcon show and a Bald Eagles tail brushed across his face and that was COOL. They had German Pizza for dinner that he said was excellent. He is very nervous about the homestay and has been quite homesick only when in the hotel at night. During the day he is very social and making many new friends. Krysta also touched base with me about JC and him being nervous about the homestay and informed me that he is only homesick when he is in bed and "thinking." as most of the children are. She said when they are active they are all fine and making wonderful friends.
I asked him about the weather and he said it is cold in the morning but gets warms as the day goes by.
My daughter FINALLY text messaged me today to inform me she is having a wonderful time.

Sherry, thanks for keeping us updated. Johnny has yet to call or email me. I'm hoping this is because he is having a great time and is too busy for Mom and Dad. He did text his sister to say the Alps are awesome. I'm hoping he will have a chance email me during the homestay. This is a wonderful experience for them all and they are sure to come home more independent. Jackie
Jackie, if it helps at all Johnny and JC are rooming together this evening. While talking to JC I asked him how Johnny was doing and Johnny replied, "I'm having a balst, a little homesick but I am loving it here." He sounded great in the background. JC did say that he was helping alot at night as were Evan, Gaven and Amanda. It seems when they are in the rooms that is when JC tends to get very homesick. JC also left his Europe converter in the last hotel or one of the roommates picked it up, so Johnny was letting him charge his phone and camera with his until tomorrow when he can get his sisters or purchase a new one. Hope this helps a little.
Apparently parents are upset by me saying that my sons converter might have been picked up by one of the roommates. I do not feel I deserved the emails I received. My son had told me they over slept this morning and all had to rush to get their things together. I was meaning that they grabbed it in the rush and threw it in their bag. I am actually hoping someone did so he didnt lose it and can get it and have it for the trip. I certainly did not mean someone took it intentionally. I would never have accused such a thing. I apologize if you were offended.
